I've installed KDE 2.1.1t for mdk 7.2 (video card: ATI Rage-128), I got the KDE anti-alias option, but if I comment out the TT FontPath in XF86Config-4 and set up XftConfig, I have no TT fonts at all ! I've installed FreeType2 from freetype2-2.0.1-0_helix_1.i386.rpm and even recompiled it from the sources, but that doesn't seem to come from FT2.
So I guess the problem really comes from Xft.

If anyone has managed to get AA fonts under mdk7.2 with the KDE 2.1.1 rpms, please post a "HOWTO" ! Thanks !

I've already got the AntiAliasing=true, but I can't get any TT fonts if I comment out the TT FontPath line in XF86Config. I checked the checkbox in kcm Look&Feel Style, but it really looks as Xft is disabled :(

I was just wondering if anyone knows which specific SRPM or source tarball would need to be compiling against Xft-enabled QT to enable the Anti-Aliasing checkbox in the Look & Feel section of the control panel.

I am using Mandrake 8.0beta2, and everything is set up fine for anti-aliased text already.

1) install the RPMS (there're been some new ones on KDE ftp - libmng, freetype2 and a README)
2) setup everything for AA, at this point it should not work (generally), if it works, you're luckier than me !
3) telinit 3 (or exit XFree if you don't use [kgx]dm)
4) recompile & install freetype2
5) recompile & install Xft or get a working one
6) telinit 5 (or restart XFree if you don't use [kgx]dm)
7) if it's still not working, you're on your own - use your brain :( Make sure your video card supports the RENDER extensions...
